A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive

Please consider the following quote and place your thoughts about it within your reply:

"A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defense against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretense of defending, have enslaved the people."
-- James Madison, speech at the Constitutional Convention, June 29, 1787
